Every week, we run `npm audit --only=prod` to check for vulnerabilities on the production dependencies of fleetdm.com. Once we have a solution to configure GitHub's Dependabot to ignore devDependencies, this manual process can be replaced with Dependabot.
### Experimentation
### Landing pages and website experiments
In order for marketing to iterate rapidly we have created a process of experimentation. This will allow a small group of marketers to draft, review and publish a page or a flyer or an experiment without getting a series of approvals. Experiments should be short-lived, temporary things intended for a small audience. When an experiment succeeds it should immediately be turned into a part of Fleet'd rituals and then go through the proper wireframe-first approach.
Experimental pages are short-lived, temporary landing pages intended for a small audience. All experiments and landing pages need to go through the standard [drafting process](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/company/product-groups#making-changes) before they are created.
Website experiments and landing pages should live behind `/imagine` url. Which is hidden from the sitemap and intended to be linked to from ads and marketing campaigns. Design experiments (flyers, swag, etc.) should be limited to small audiences (less than 500 people) to avoid damaging the brand or confusing our customers. In general, experiments that are of a design nature should be targeted at prospects and random users, never targeted at our customers.

#### Landing pages
The Fleet website has a built-in landing page generator that can be used to quickly create a new page that lives under the /imagine/ url.

- Wireframes created to describe individual changes are disposable and may have slight stylistic inconsistencies. Fleet's user interface styleguide in Figma is the source of truth for overarching design decisions like spacing, typography, and colors.
- While the "wireframe first" practice is [still sometimes misunderstood](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product-development-flow/#but-wait-isnt-this-waterfall), today many modern high-performing teams now use a [wireframe-first methodology](https://speakerdeck.com/mikermcneil/i-love-apis), including [startups](https://www.forbes.com/sites/danwoods/2015/10/19/dont-get-ubered-apis-hold-key-to-digital-transformation/?sh=50112fea182c#:~:text=One%20recommendation%20that,deep%20experience) and [publicly-traded companies](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product-development-flow/#validation-phase-3-design).
